Tally of H1N1 victims rises

The number of British students and teachers quarantined in Beijing over H1N1 flu has risen to at least 85 with eight students hospitalized with the virus, said officials at the UK's embassy yesterday.

The new tally marks an increase over the 52 originally quarantined last week for a seven-day period at a Beijing hotel after they arrived for a study tour.
